I really didn't expect Sun to comment on this. I was just pointing out
that "selecting" the XView toolkit does involve some problems that a
program developer might not be aware of. I am developing a program for
use in our facility that I want to be user friendly. In order to say
the problem is solved, I must investigate and document how the end
user down-loads the fonts to all X servers (i.e. X Terminals,
Macintoshes, PC's, DECstations, VMS workstations, etc).

As I said, I can specify a different font in the program. I cannot
specify a different cursor. There are only 20-30 cursors in the
olcursor "font", I believe. The extra code text would be small compared to the
size of the library.
